Why did Harley Davidson come out with the Night Rod?
The V-Rod and its spawn, the Night Rod Special were Harley’s attempt to cash in on buyers from other brands, who weren’t interested in Harley-Davidsons. So the introduction of the V-Rods not only let Harley-Davidson show off its prowess and the fact that it too was willing to change with the times, but it also made for better and wider sales.
Why are the Harley Davidson V-rods so popular?
The reliability of the V-Rods was another big factor in boosting flagging sales for Harley-Davidson as a brand.

When Harley-Davidson announced its 2018 lineup, the V-Rods were missing.
Is the Harley Davidson Dyna still on the market?
